Madagascar - 2.2.4 Mahajanga International Airport
Home

 

Airport Overview 

Mahajanga International Airport is located 7.7 km northeast of the city centre. To be able to fully exploit its potential, the platform must invest to overcome its current handicaps, such as the tearing and low lift of aeronautical pavements. 

Various works are required to ensure that the airport can accommodate large aircraft. The prospects for traffic growth for both passengers and freight militate in favour of this modernisation approach. 

Le projet d’aménagement et d’extension de l’aéroport de Mahajanga vise à améliorer la connectivité aérienne entre les régions de Madagascar et avec l’extérieur par la mise aux normes de l’exploitation technique et commerciale de l’aéroport pour l’accueil des avions gros porteurs de type A340 ou B777. L’objectif est de faire de la plateforme le hub de la région Ouest du pays.
